Paul,

Do you still have the filesystem with the undeletable directory?

If so, can you run xfs_db and email me the contents of that directory?

The commands would be:

xfs_db> blockget -n
xfs_db> ncheck lost+found.x
<inum> lost+found.x/.
xfs_db> inode <inum>
xfs_db> p

# if not a shortform directory, ie. the above does not output
"u.sfdir2.etc", do the following sequence for all the blocks
in the extent map, or at least offset 0 and 8388608 if they
exist:

xfs_db> dblock <n>
xfs_db> p

With this output, I should be able to recreate a similar
directory and test xfs_repair for problems.

Thanks,
Barry.
